Fletch Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I'm sure someone else has bottled this already, but if not here is an Altirra 3.0 Wine port for macOS. Note that it is the 32-bit version and you might get a notification about 32 bit apps if you are on High Sierra. Let me know if you have any issues as I only did a very quick test. -Pete https://www.dropbox.com/s/jzwwe2azar0ptfw/altirra.zip?dl=0 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckybuck Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Hi Fletch, Thanks, but here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/256928-altirra-28-wine-port-for-macos-sierra/?do=findComment&comment=4019809 is a version around 100 MB less in size with full credits to Avery Lee. Complete open with a picture on how to do it on your own. A 64 Bit version is also finished, please give me some time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashjazzcat Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Why is this referred to as a port? It's the original binary provided as part of a bundle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 Why is this referred to as a port? It's the original binary provided as part of a bundle. Its a bottle, I'm sorry for choosing the wrong the term. I'm not a programmer, just ran it through Wine Bottler. Sorry for the confusion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 No confusion here, but an actual macOS port of Altirra would be a historically significant event. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckybuck Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Be cool, I am just a wannabe padawan, 1st year... Did discover this over the great work of others, so the credits go to them. To my mind, we are very close to that goal. Up to now, we have a running Altirra 32 Bit on macOS up to 10.12.x And last weekend, I received a 64 Bit version running under 10.13.x Yes, we are on the edge of that breakpoint. The main problem is: who can host the shrinked file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrVenkman Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Yes, we are on the edge of that breakpoint. The main problem is: who can host the shrinked file? How big is the file? Too big to upload here in a dedicated thread? If so, why not post it to a GitHub account? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckybuck Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 39.1 MB https://www.dropbox.com/s/7nlorl93u6m5zih/Altirra.app.7z?dl=0 Hope not too many are downloading this... Please put in applications folder and don't alter the name. If Avery brings out a new version, just open the package (right click) and replace Altirra.exe Have fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckybuck Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) Thank you Mr.Fish, great :-) Problem is solved. ;-) ;-) Please see attachment and remove .txt from the file. This version should run up to macOS 10.12.x, but not on 10.13.x When a new version of Altirra comes out, go to: /Applications/Altirra.app/Contents/Resources/wineprefix/drive_c/winebottler/Altirra.exe and just replace Altirra.exe with the new version from Avery. That's all. :-) Altirra.app.7z.txt Edited May 18, 2018 by luckybuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckybuck Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 DrVenkman does it run on your Mac? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrVenkman Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 DrVenkman does it run on your Mac? Sadly, I am Mac-less (unMac'ed? Sans Mac? ) for over a year now. My ancient MacBook Pro suffered a graphics card failure and when I was looking to replace it, the then-new 2016 MBP line was decidedly underwhelming, even before the $500 price bump as compared to comparable models from prior years. I had no choice but to replace it with a Win-box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckybuck Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Sad to hear. But since 2012, what Apple has done with fixed RAM and SSD in the MacBook (Pro), I really don't like... Anyway thanks for the like. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckybuck Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) Altirra 3.0 in 64 Bit for macOS >= 10.13.x: Please see the attachment and remove .txt from the file. Please un7z the file and put the app into the applications folder and don't alter the name. If Avery brings out a new version, just open the app-package (mouse right click on the app) and replace Altirra64.exe only: /Applications/Altirra.app/Contents/Resources/wineprefix/drive_c/winebottler/Altirra64.exe Have fun. Mega thanks to: Avery Lee skr without them, nothing would run here and I wouldn't even know how spell Altirra! The community is deep in your debt! Please go ahead with your outstanding work and let us know your PayPal me-address. :-) Altirra.app.7z.txt Edited May 18, 2018 by luckybuck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+slx Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Thanks to the bottlers! Sad to hear. But since 2012, what Apple has done with fixed RAM and SSD in the MacBook (Pro), I really don't like...) Indeed. Got myself a 2015 model when the new touchbar/Keyboard design appeared and hope it will last for a couple of years.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electronizer Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Many thanks to everyone who has worked hard to make it easy for us to run Altirra on macOS! Has anyone else had trouble with the 64-bit version? I tried to run it on High Sierra 10.13.4. The icon just bounces in the dock and then goes away; the program doesn't launch. Also the icon file doesn't seem to be working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc13 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I know this is a long shot , but I just got a MB Pro with the touch bar and I'm trying to get BetterTouchTool to work with Altirra in Wine for Start/Select/etc. So far I can only get the reset and help to work. The others are setup exactly the same way, but are not responsive in Altirra. Anybody else tried to get this to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckybuck Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Hi jc13, the Mac isn't important, the system is. What are you running? Sierra, High Sierra or even Mojave, which isn't running with Altirra as far as I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc13 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Running High Sierra - Wine and Altirra 3.0. Using BetterTouchTool which is a 3rd party OSX app that lets you create touch bar customizations for apps that don't support it natively. The Reset and Help keys will work in Altirra - the others seem to work maybe one out of 20 times. I think it may be a bug or just the way BTT works, but it seems like the sent keystroke is too fast for Altirra to see it. Changing the key from "Select" to say "q" works fine, so it's some weird interaction that's going on... Just thought I'd ask in case someone had tried to do this before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc13 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I know I started this off with Altirra, but to rule out Wine, I migrated over to testing with the Mac port of Stella. Tried this AppleScript to send F1 (Select) and it does not work: tell application "Stella" to activate tell application "System Events" to key code 122 Tried this AppleScript to send F3 (Select) and it does work: tell application "Stella" to activate tell application "System Events" to key code 99 Both Stella and Altirra seem to have problems processing the keystrokes for Start and Select (and Option), but the other keys seem to work. No big deal - just trying to do something useful with the Touch Bar and not having any luck. Sorry to drag this off topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subby Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I guess I'm missing something. Got the file from post #15, copied it to Applications. Started, a little popup said Wine had to update which disappeared and that was it. Now pretty much nothing happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
